Thanks for that. I like the IDEA of spiders and they are fascinating creatures.

I just found these pipes. Creative Briar Pipes Anyone ever tried making your own pipes? Would it be an expensive hobby (more so than simply smoking them)?

No, not really... I mean no disrespect to the Word but when I read this it immediately brought the pipe to mind. Revelation 5:8 (The Message) - "...Each had a harp and each had a bowl, a gold bowl filled with incense...". Would that be Virginia? ;)

Done! 107th from Texas.

Hello, Welcome. Great place to be and loads of info or just plain ol 'stuff' to be found here.

The only place I've been to that has really left an impression would be Colorado, northern specifically. I spent a couple of weeks in UK. I didn't do any sightseeing though. I just stayed in the village where my friends (to-be family) lived. I went across to visit my fiancee (now wife of 7+...

The spouse, religion, and politics stir up the stuff for sure! So far a happy marriage, going on 8 years this March. I'm not about to screw it up. I've taken my stand on many points but there are some things I've just got to give in for. You win some, you lose some. She's worth losing to...

All this talk of the "man cave" all over the place. I've got a man cave of sorts. I've got my own room with all my guitar/music stuff in it. There is a small spot for the wife to do her knitting and reading but she never goes in there. I can't smoke in there though, nor anywhere else in the...

You probably nabbed the thoughts and reflections of most all pipe smokers, all in this one single post. Good one.

I raked over my decision to start the pipe for about 3 or 4 years before I finally jumped in. I'm only 27. I grew up around smokers all my life but I never had any interest in it at all. The pipe, however, always stuck out to me though. Even through my younger years I always wondered what it...

Hiya! Only just started on the pipe late Nov '09 and I love it. I've only managed to check out one tobacco so far but plan on stocking some new ones soon. How's the Captain Black anyhow?

Hiya! Great board here. Tons of great info to be found and good fun all around.

The set-screw on the 1/4" jack helps create a ramp for the strap button's screw to pull on. When it's tight then just tighten the set screw and it stays tight. I've never had a problem. I don't see how it would work with the typical switchcraft type of jack, which is really nothing but the...

This particular jack plug is a "solderless" one, in that it uses a set screw instead of lead to keep things connected. I would bet the type with a set screw would work better because it helps create something for the guitar strap button's screw to bite and hold to. Then, you can also tighten...

I didn't have a tamper until I made one myself. Anyone who's used or seen a 1/4" instrument cable will recognize where the parts came from. The "poker" bit is a jack plug from a Dean Markley Pro Mag acoustic pickup cable. The "tamper" end is a guitar strap button. I was surprised at how well...

Welcome! New guy myself. There is a wealth of knowledge here and plenty good post just for the fun of it!

Thanks for posting that. A sight and sound rarely seen in media these days. God Bless America (please, Lord knows we don't deserve it)!

From what I've found, from playing shows with my own band these past 5 years. You have to GO to see good music. There ain't no auto-tune going on in the bars and clubs who feature live music. You either perform or you get booed off stage (sometimes literally). You won't hear it on the radio...

This seems like a great site and a great place to find good folks interested in keeping a classic pastime active. In this fast paced world it seems most folks just can't find time to just stop and relax. I'm new to the pipe. I've been thinking about it for around 3 or 4 years now but I never...
